OAKS COLLEGE
MINISTRY MODEL

Bringing good news to the afflicted, healing the brokenhearted, proclaiming liberty to captives, setting prisoners free, and comforting those who mourn.

BEING

Jesus gives Kingdom identity to those who’ve experienced his healing, calling them Oaks of righteousness.

Oaks College models its education and ministry training after Isaiah 61. This prophetic passage about Jesus emphasizes three aspects of Jesus’ ministry that we desire for all of our students to experience while fulfilling their ministry call.

DOING

From this deep work of healing and identity, those who have experienced Jesus’ love carry out redemptive ministry work.

Oaks College exists to position students to lead the way for effective ministry. Through hands-on, catalytic internships and high-quality accredited academics, Oaks College provides students with an education that’s affordable, trains them in leadership, offers practical ministry experience, positions them for employment, and prioritizes spiritual health. Oaks College prepares students to walk confidently in their God-given identity so that they can make a meaningful difference in the local church and the Kingdom of God.
